All about multiplatform and game development

Microsoft released a Visual Studio 2005 SDK update this week and it contains a lof of updated features:

Updates to the IronPython sample (very useful for me because of syntax highlighting stuff for my addin)

Visual Studio Team System integration (yeah sure, like I'm will ever be able to affort VSTS)

Domain Specific Language (DSL) Tools (sounds interessting)

Visual Studio Tools for Applications (VSTA) (cool for office stuff, but not important for me)

Reference samples for C# and C++ Editors, Version control integration, XML designer, and many others! (thats always good)

Why am I telling you this? Well, I'm going to continue my Boo Language plugin for Visual Studio I started earlier this year. I never had time to continue it, but now with the new VS SDK out I will give it another try.

Other news: Steve Pavlina blogs this month about stopping polynapping. Steve was one of the most known polynappers of our time, he was polynapping (sleeping only 2 hours per day) for almost 6 months. I was polynapping in february this year too, but because of many fairs and meetings I wasn't able to keep the schedule and switched to bi-phasic sleeping and after a while I was back to monophasic sleeping (just sleeping once per day). Steve Pavlina had similar reasons and said that he had problems with social events, you can't go to sleep every 4 hours in our society that easy.

I will give polynapping another try this weekend. I'm not expecting it to last, but maybe I will do it I month from time to time, just for the fun of it. It was also interessting to see the reactions from other people, when I tell them about polynapping.
